Description

Quite interesting system, the Haley's coronet galaxy and the colliding one. It was a very bad night regarding the seeing, but the temptation to get this galaxy was larger than not trying. I had to trough away a lot of images. 
The NGC 1532 is very attractive, even with the small scope, and polluted area. The tidal forces of the interacting systems can be clearly seen.
Of course, this system is really impressive when captured by large scopes and really good skies, like this one by ESO: https://www.eso.org/public/images/ngc1532/
and its desciption as a ballet of galaxies is quite accurate.
